Free Music Notes for Elv1s 30 #1 Hits
Free Music Review: Turn the channel and play a different tune!
Hit: 5 Stars
I wish that the computer geeks would stop reviewing this album and beefing about which channel which instrument comes out of. YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT!!! Hey listen, I'm here to tell you that ELVIS music will always sound best on vinyl and I've got 36 albums and dozens of 45s to prove my point. I miss the fun house echo in Heartbreak Hotel and Milkcow Blues Boogie and others songs that've been "Updated." I hate when they don't play the back and forth fade of Suspicious Minds. That was what was so awesome about it on the record and later in his stage shows. When these staples are edited, it's like an instrument is missing. If you really want to hear EP like never before, get the records. Go buy a quadraphonic recording of the ALOHA CONCERT and feel it vibrate in your soul. The point of this album is that here he is 25 years after death dominating the charts around the world like no other. While the giants of music boast topping the 100 Million sales mark, EP is at 1.3 Billion and rising and this is the music that took him there as fresh and contemporary now as it was the day ot was released . ELV1S is the #1 selling album in the world today--not the Backstreet Boys or U2 or even Madonna. This is the 150th plus Gold album of his career and there are dozens of his albums that have sold into the millions that the RIAA have yet to certify as gold. So stop droning on about conversions and menus and listen to the music of a generation---past and present, ours and theirs.Free Music Review: Finally a correct tribute
Hit: 5 Stars
Did we really need another compilation of Elvis Presley's greatest, or in this case, number one, hits? Releases that aim to provide a survey of this giant of rock `n' roll have been innumerable, but often useless and badly prepared, already in the old days of vinyl. Yet, somehow BMG/RCA grandly surpassed itself 25 years after the untimely death of one of the biggest and apparently inexhaustible numbers in their catalogue, by releasing this ELV1S 30 #1 Hits - and the massive commercial successes all around the globe prove they made it right: the sound quality of this disc is stunning and puts most, if not all, previous efforts to shame, the liner notes are relevant, the artwork is superb, the selection of songs makes perfect sense, and even the marketing campaign was a model. Starting with the novel sound of "Heartbreak Hotel" from 1956 up to the JXL remix of "A Little Less Conversation", the surprise smash hit of last summer, ELV1S 30 #1 Hits is not only an appetizing sample of Elvis' musical range and cultural impact, it is nearly 80 minutes of music history.It would be way too naïve to call ELV1S 30 #1 Hits the `nec plus ultra' collection of Elvis Presley's music, yet it will be difficult to surpass it. The ideal introduction for those who still need to discover what the man was and is all about, as well as, finally, the correct tribute to one of the true monuments in the history of popular music.

Elvis Presley-30 #1 hits spans from 1956 recordings such as heartbreak hotel, to 1977 recordings such as Way Down. As well as all of elvis's 30 number 1 hits their is a bonus track a little less conversation(JKL Radio Edit Remix) which is good expesically for the true elvis fan who already has all of the 30 number one hits in their collection. This CD takes you through a journey in a sense from the early times, to the 60's, through the 70's showing you the example of why Elvis was the king of rock n roll. Songs like Suspicious Minds, and Heartbreak Hotel stick with Elvis fans as well as the 28 others from all shook up, surrender, crying in the chapel, the wonder of you, stuck on you, burning love, don't, and countless others. I would also like to mention how great the booklet inside the CD case is. Their are some great rare pictures in the booklet as well as some great quotes by the king himself including this one "Rhythem Is Something You Either Have Or Done Have, But When You Have It, You Have It All Over." Not to mention how great elvis was but also to all of the musicians who were on this CD because they were elvis's backbone throughout his entire career. I would HIGHLY RECOMEND this to everybody in the world including YOU! Because you will learn to love this entire collection as much as any other possible recording in your entire collection. Enjoy~
Free Music Review: Bringing Elvis to today's Internet generation of listeners
Hit: 5 Stars
This was a good idea a few years ago to compile Elvis Presley's 30 #1 hits for this compilation. My first time hearing Elvis' music was 1978, when countless TV ads to order 20 of his greatest hits a year came on after he died in 1977. After that, I noticed how much of an icon and major star he was. This fellow made some very catchy songs such as Hound Dog, Jailhouse Rock, Can't Help Falling In Love, Return To Sender, All Shook Up and countless others. He was really a diverse artist, as his forays into rock, pop, gospel, R&B,and other genres fit into his musical style. This collection is very well packaged for today's Internet driven generation who's very much into current artists and trends. Elvis set the standard for most pop artists today into how to market themselves and sell their flashy images. He had a surprising 20 years of hits, even up to the '70s too. Could have had some more hits in the '80s if he even lived longer. Given that this new movie on CBS is coming up, I decided to write this review. And while most folks will drive thousands of miles annually to the Graceland home to worship Elvis, I would rather listen to the music instead because that matters. The remix of A Little Less Conversation is funky with some more modern dance music added to the original song. For today's audiences, this album was very timely to come out in the CD era, when vinyl was a common thing back then.Free Music Review: A King among men.

Beyond whatever hype, criticism, or characterization of Elvis' personal life and career you subscribe to; regardless of the unflattering media portrayals, bizarre fans and tell all documentaries, the music remains the essence of the man and eternally enshrines him as the greatest pop icon ever. For those of us alive at the time, we remember life as B.E and A.E and A.E things changed for music and male sexuality forever. Or as John Lennon eloquently put it: "Before ELVIS there was nothing!" When you become great enough, you cease to be a proper noun and you becomes an adjective; people say "He's the ELVIS PRESLEY of this or that." I remember when Vanilla Ice came along and they said "He's the next ELVIS." Well there's never gonna be a "Next ELVIS." What happened then gripped the world and made music front page headlines. The power of Elvis on T.V enslaved his fans to him. So much for Don Henley's theory that T.V makes Rock & Roll small.... Here's to the next 50 years of ELVIS and to his next Number 1 record or CD or whatever will come after CDs. It's only gonna get better for Elvis as the years go by, as a whole new generation of children have fallen in love with him and his music in this millennium and they will grow up with him and raise their children on him and so on..... and so on..... and so on..... into the next millennium ...and so on...and so on . ....
